Abstract

Low-income communities across the country suffer from education inequities that compound over a child’s lifetime, ultimately resulting in a higher chance of dropping out of high school, engaging in criminal activity and sustaining heavy economic losses. Literacy lag is especially detrimental because reading is the medium by which all other learning occurs. If a child is not a proficient reader by fourth grade, her future is in jeopardy.
